Low resource BS has returned

[ILLMAS]

Since last week, I have not been able to open two returns at the same time, didn't have a problem at last year or up to recently, what gives?

I only had that happen a couple of times this year, but in the last couple of weeks.  Earlier in the year, no problem.

I wondered as well

I would bet that the files are bigger at this later date and your computer resources do not have the capacity to open both returns at once.  I agree, could do it with no problem early in the season - hit and miss now.

That happens occasionally to me but usually later in the day.  So I close and reopen the program.  I think too much stuff hangs around and it needs to clear out and begin fresh.  Might work for you.

I'm not quite sure about this, but I think there is also some kind of "rollover server" that loads in memory if you roll over returns. I've got into the habit of closing and re-opening the software after rolling over. Only once this season did I have a low resource error. Overall the software worked very well, still a few 'server' problems, but a lot less than in prior years.

I keep the task manager open and check the memory and CPU usage when it starts running slow. Have to reboot periodically and  if I need a big memory clean out, reboot the computer. I had my first crash today, of course when I'm barely able to type my password.
